Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

You have requested our consent to the Sublease. Such consent is hereby granted on the terms and conditions, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties, set forth in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”).

 

1.Tenant represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Agreement, (a) the Lease is in full force and effect; (b) the Lease has not been assigned, encumbered, amended, modified, extended or supplemented; (c) Tenant knows of no defense or counterclaim to the enforcement of the obligations of the Tenant under the Lease; (d) Tenant is not entitled to any reduction, offset or abatement of the rent payable under the Lease; (e) a true and complete copy of the Sublease is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the Sublease constitutes the entire agreement between Tenant and Subtenant with respect to the subject matter thereof; and (f) Tenant is not in default of any of its obligations or covenants, and has not breached any of its representations or warranties under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods.

 

2.The Sublease shall be subject and subordinate to the Lease and all of its provisions. Neither Tenant nor Subtenant shall take, permit or suffer any action which would violate the provisions of the Lease or this Agreement.

 

3.Landlord’s obligations to Tenant are governed only by the Lease and this Agreement. Landlord shall not be bound or estopped by any provision of the Sublease, including any provision purporting to impose any obligations upon Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 22 of the Sublease, in no event shall Landlord be deemed to have waived any claim which Landlord has against Subtenant on account of lost profit, damage to or loss of business, or any form of special, indirect or consequential damages. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a consent to, approval of, or ratification by Landlord of, any of the particular provisions of the Sublease, or any plan or drawing referred to or contained therein. Tenant expressly acknowledges that Landlord has not approved any provision of the Sublease. Any and all alterations, additions and improvements in or to the Premises shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Landlord in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease. Subtenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured party under any liability insurance policy maintained by Subtenant with respect to the Premises, and prior to taking possession of the Premises shall deliver a certificate evidencing said insurance to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Subtenant shall have the benefit of all of Section 3, Section 4, and Section 5 of the Sublease.

 

4.If Tenant or Subtenant violates any of the terms of this Agreement, or if any representation by Tenant or Subtenant in this Agreement is untrue in any material respect, or if Subtenant takes any action which would constitute a default under the Lease, then Landlord may declare the Lease to be in default and avail itself of all remedies provided at law or equity or in the Lease with respect to defaults after any applicable notice and cure periods.

5.If the Lease is terminated prior to the stated expiration date provided in the Lease, the Sublease shall likewise terminate on the date of such termination. In connection with such termination, Subtenant, at its sole expense, shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the manner provided for in the Lease, including the removal of all its personal property from the Premises and from the Building, and repair all resulting damage to the Premises and the Building. Except as otherwise provided in the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to retain any property and personal effects which remain in the Premises or the Building after the date of termination of the Sublease, without any obligation or liability to Tenant or Subtenant, and to retain any net proceeds realized from the sale thereof, without waiving Landlord’s rights with respect to any default by Tenant under the Lease or Subtenant under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph and the provisions of the Lease and Sublease. If Subtenant shall fail to vacate and surrender the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, Landlord shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies which are available to a landlord against a tenant holding over after the expiration of a term, and any such holding over shall be deemed a default under the Lease. In addition, Subtenant agrees that it will not seek, and it expressly waives any right to seek, any stay of the prosecution of, or the execution of any judgment awarded in, any action by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises. Subtenant may not vacate the Premises on a Sunday or holiday. If the Sublease terminates on a Sunday or holiday, Subtenant must comply with this paragraph by the end of the preceding Saturday or business day. This paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and/or the Sublease.

 

6.Tenant and Subtenant each agrees:

 

(i)notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of the Landlord for its obligations (whether under the Lease, this Agreement, or otherwise) shall be limited to the interests of Landlord in the Building. In no event shall any partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer, principal, employee, agent, or owner of Landlord, direct or indirect, disclosed or undisclosed, be personally liable for any debts, liabilities or obligations of Landlord, or for any claims against Landlord, arising out of or resulting from the Lease, the Premises, or this Agreement. Any such debts, obligations, liabilities or claims shall be satisfied solely out of the interests of Landlord in the Building. In no event shall any personal judgment be sought or obtained against any partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer, principal, employee, agent, or owner of Landlord, direct or indirect, disclosed or undisclosed; and (ii) the obligations of Landlord under this Agreement and the Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Real Property, and Tenant and Subtenant shall look solely to the transferee for the satisfaction of such obligations. Any such transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of Landlord’s obligations under this Agreement.

7.Tenant and Subtenant each represents and warrants that no rent or other consideration is being paid or is payable to Tenant by Subtenant for the right to use or occupy the Premises or for the use, sale or rental of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property in excess of the pro-rata portion of the fixed rent and any additional rent payable pursuant to the Lease except as set forth in the Sublease.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to diminish or relieve the Tenant of its primary responsibility and liability under the Lease. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not impair the validity and enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

 

12.This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, except as provided in Paragraph 6 (ii) above and except that it shall not inure to the benefit of any successor or assign of Tenant or Subtenant whose status was acquired in violation of the Lease and/or this Agreement.

Tenant and Subtenant, at their sole expense, may defend any such claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and settle any such claim at their expense; however, any stipulation, settlement agreement, consent order, judgment or decree entered into in connection therewith (collectively, “Settlement Agreements”) shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Landlord in all respects, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, so long as the Settlement Agreements do not impose any obligations or liability on the part of Landlord. The provisions of this paragraph 14 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and/or the Sublease.

 

15.Tenant and Subtenant, jointly and severally, indemnify Landlord against, and hold it harmless from any and all losses, costs, expenses, claims and liabilities including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees, arising from the use, occupancy, conduct or management of the Premises by Subtenant, or its agents, employees, contractors, representatives, invitees or visitors, or Subtenant’s business activities therein. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Subtenant and/or Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, shall, at Tenant’s or Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, as the case may be, resist or defend such action or proceeding using counsel reasonably approved by Landlord; however, the Settlement Agreements entered into in connection therewith shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Landlord in all respects, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, so long as the Settlement Agreements do not impose any obligations or liability on the part of Landlord. The provisions of this paragraph 15 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of the Sublease and/or the Lease.

Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice if the Sublease terminates prior to the expiration of its stated Term.

 

17.Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Sublease, nor any acceptance of rent or other consideration from Subtenant by Landlord or Landlord’s agent shall operate to waive, modify, impair, release or in any manner affect Tenant’s liabilities and obligations under the Lease or Subtenant’s liabilities and obligations under the Sublease.

 

-5-

 

 

18.If there shall be any conflict or inconsistency between the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the Sublease, then the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. If there shall be any conflict or inconsistency between the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the Lease, then the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, shall be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon it in any such court

Subtenant acknowledges that its failure to complete Subtenant’s Plans prior to February 1,2018, will result in Subtenant’s and Sublandlord’s forfeiture of their rights to use the Allowance, whether set forth in the Overlease or in this Sublease. Sublandlord’s sole obligations in connection with completion of the Tenant’s Work shall be to, following Subtenant’s request and following Subtenant’s submission of a Requisition to Sublandlord and Overlandlord and completion of any and all other prerequisites to Sublandlord’s receiving any disbursement of the Allowance set forth in Exhibit 3 to the Overlease, (i) exercise its right to receive the portion of the Allowance corresponding to such Requisition, and (ii) assign to Subtenant for the purpose of completing the Tenant’s Work such portion of the Allowance as Sublandlord receives from Overlandlord.

THIS INDENTURE OF LEASE (this “Lease”) is hereby made and entered into on the Execution Date by and between Landlord and Tenant,

 

Each reference in this Lease to any of the terms and titles contained in any Exhibit attached to this Lease shall be deemed and construed to incorporate the data stated under that term or title in such Exhibit. AH capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them as set forth in the Lease Summary Sheet which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

1. LEASE GRANT; TERM; APPURTENANT RIGHTS; EXCLUSIONS

 

1.1 Lease Grant. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises upon and subject to terms and conditions of this Lease, for a term of years commencing on the Term Commencement Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, ending on the Expiration Date (the “Initial Term”; the Initial Term and any duly exercised Extension Terms are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Term”).

 

1.2 Extension Term.

 

(a) Provided that the following conditions, which may be waived by Landlord in its sole discretion, are satisfied (i) Tenant, an Affiliated Entity (hereinafter defined) and/or a Successor (hereinafter defined) is/are then occupying one hundred percent (100%) of the Premises; and (ii) no Event of Default nor an event which with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default has occurred (A) as of the date of the Extension Notice (hereinafter defined) and (B) at the commencement of the Extension Term (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for one (1) additional term of five (5) years (the “Extension Term”), commencing as of February 1,2024 and expiring as of January 31, 2029. Tenant must exercise such option to extend, if at all, by giving Landlord written notice (the “Extension Notice”) on or before February 1, 2023, time being of the essence. Upon the timely giving of such notice, the Term shall be deemed extended upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent during the Extension Term shall be calculated in accordance with this Section 1.2 below, Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or renovate the Premises and Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term, If Tenant fails to give timely notice, as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term. Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant’s proper and timely exercise of such option to extend the Term shall be self-executing, the parties shall promptly execute a lease amendment confirming such Extension Term after Tenant exercises such option. The execution of such lease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of the conditions to Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Section 1.2.

 

(b) The Base Rent during the Extension Term (the “Extension Term Base Rent”) shall be determined in accordance with the process described hereafter. Extension Term Base Rent shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises then demised to Tenant as of the commencement of the Extension Term as determined in accordance with the process described below, for renewals of combination laboratory and office space in the vicinity of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the length of the Extension Term, the credit standing of Tenant, the condition of the Property, Premises, Storage Premises and PH System Premises, and all other relevant factors to be taken into account, Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Extension Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of its determination of the Extension Term Base Rent for the Extension Term. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent (“Tenant’s Response Notice”). If Tenant fails timely to deliver Tenant’s Response Notice, Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent shall be binding on Tenant,

 

PAGE 1

 

 

(c) If and only if Tenant’s Response Notice is timely delivered to Landlord and indicates both that Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent and desires to submit the matter to arbitration, then the Extension Term Base Rent shall be determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Section 1.2(c). In such event, within ten (10) days after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s Response Notice indicating Tenant’s desire to submit the determination of the Extension Term Base Rent to arbitration, Tenant and Landlord shall each notify the other, in writing, of their respective selections of an appraiser (respectively, “Landlord’s Appraiser” and “Tenant’s Appraiser”). Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser shall then jointly select a third appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”) within ten (10) days of their appointment. All of the appraisers selected shall be individuals with at least five (5) consecutive years’ commercial appraisal experience in the area in which the Premises are located, shall be members of the Appraisal Institute (M.A.I.), and, in the case of the Third Appraiser, shall not have acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant or any affiliate of Landlord or Tenant within five (5) years of his or her selection. The three appraisers shall determine the Extension Term Base Rent in accordance with the requirements and criteria set forth in Section 1.2(b) above, employing the method commonly known as “Baseball Arbitration”, whereby Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser each sets forth its determination of the Extension Term Base Rent as defined above, and the Third Appraiser must select one or the other (it being understood that the Third Appraiser shall be expressly prohibited from selecting a compromise figure). Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser shall deliver their determinations of the Extension Term Base Rent to the Third Appraiser within five (5) days of the appointment of the Third Appraiser and the Third Appraiser shall render his or her decision within ten (10) days after receipt of both of the other two determinations of the Extension Term Base Rent. The Third Appraiser’s decision shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and the cost of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the party whose determination is not selected.

 

1.3 Appurtenant Rights.

 

(a) Common Areas. Subject to the terms of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use in common with others entitled thereto the following areas (such areas are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Areas”): (i) the common freight elevators, loading docks and hallways of the Buildings serving the Premises, (ii) common walkways and driveways necessary for access to the Buildings, (iii) the common areas of the PH System Room, as shown on Exhibit 1-1 for the purposes of access and egress to Tenant’s PH System Premises, and (iv) other areas and facilities designated by Landlord from time to time for the common use of tenants of the Building; and no other appurtenant rights or easements.

While said reserved Parking Spaces shall be marked to identify Tenant, Landlord shall have no obligation to police the use of said reserved spaces. Tenant shall pay for such unreserved Parking Spaces and reserved Parking Spaces at the prevailing monthly rates from time to time charged by the operator or operators of the Garage, whether or not such operator is an affiliate of Landlord, for unreserved and reserved Parking Spaces, as the case may be. As of the date of this Lease, the current monthly rate for unreserved spaces is $280.00 per unreserved space per month, and the current monthly rate for reserved spaces is $340.00 per reserved space per month, Such monthly parking charges for Parking Spaces shall constitute Additional Rent and shall be payable monthly as directed by Landlord upon billing therefor by Landlord or such operator. Tenant acknowledges that said monthly charges to be paid under this Section 1.3(b) are for the use by Tenant of the Parking Spaces referred to herein, and not for any other service.

 

Tenant shall have no right to hypothecate or encumber the Parking Spaces, and shall not sublet, assign, or otherwise transfer the Parking Spaces other than to employees of Tenant occupying the Premises or to a Successor (hereinafter defined), an Affiliated Entity (hereinafter defined) or a transferee pursuant to an approved Transfer under Section 13 of this Lease.

Reserved and handicap parking spaces must be honored.

 

(c) Rooftop Premises. During the Term, Tenant shall have the right to use a portion of the rooftop of the Building designated by Landlord (the “Rooftop Premises”) for the installation of certain equipment approved by Landlord and purchased and installed by, or on behalf of, Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease (any equipment installed within the Rooftop Premises, as the same may be modified, altered or replaced during the Term, is collectively referred to herein as “Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment”). Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment may include supplemental HVAC equipment, antennas, satellite dishes, and equipment related thereto.

Tenant shall not install or operate Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment until Tenant has obtained and submitted to Landlord copies of all required governmental permits, licenses, and authorizations necessary for the installation and operation thereof. In addition, Tenant shall comply with all reasonable construction rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord in connection with the installation, maintenance and operation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any services including, without limitation, electric current or gas service, to the Rooftop Premises or to Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of repairing and maintaining Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment and the cost of repairing any damage to the Building, or the cost of any necessary improvements to the Building, caused by or as a result of the installation, replacement and/or removal of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment. Landlord makes no warranties or representations to Tenant as to the suitability of the Rooftop Premises for the installation and operation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment. In the event that at any time during the Term, Landlord determines, in its sole but bona fide and reasonable business judgment, that the operation and/or periodic testing of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment interferes with the operation of the Building or the business operations of any of the occupants of the Building, then Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, cause all further testing of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment to occur after normal business hours (hereinafter defined in Section 2.4).

To the maximum extent permitted by the Legal Requirements the Generator and all appurtenances in the Generator Area shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant if the Generator or any appurtenant installations are damaged for any reason, except, subject to the limitations of Landlord’s liability as set forth in this Lease, as the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Parties. Tenant agrees to be responsible for any damage caused to the Building or Property in connection with the installation, maintenance, operation or removal of the Generator, except damage resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties, and, in accordance with the terms of Article 14 of the Lease, to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties harmless Rom all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable architects’ and attorneys’ fees (if and to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements), which may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties in connection with the installation, maintenance, operation or removal of the Generator, including, without limitation, any environmental and hazardous materials claims, except to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties,

 

PAGE 4

 

 

(3) Tenant shall be responsible for the operation, cleanliness, maintenance and removal of the Generator and appurtenances, all of which shall remain the personal property of Tenant, and shall be removed by Tenant at its own expense at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal, including the patching of any holes to match, as closely as possible, the color surrounding the area where the Generator and appurtenances were attached. Such maintenance and operation shall be performed in a manner to avoid any unreasonable interference with any other tenants or Landlord. Tenant shall take the Generator Area “as is” in the condition in which the Generator Area is in as of the Term Commencement Date under the Lease, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to prepare or construct the Generator Area for Tenant’s use or occupancy. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord makes no warranties or representations to Tenant as to the suitability of the Generator Area for the installation and operation of the Generator. Tenant shall have no right to make any changes, alterations, additions, decorations or other improvements to the Generator Area without Landlord’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however, that with respect to aesthetic matters Landlord may withhold consent in its sole, but bona fide, business judgment. Tenant agrees to maintain the Generator, including without limitation, any enclosure installed around the Generator in good condition and repair. Tenant shall be responsible for performing any maintenance and improvements to any enclosure surrounding the Generator so as to keep such enclosure in good condition.

 

(4) Tenant, upon prior notice to Landlord and subject to the reasonable rules and regulations enacted by Landlord, shall have access to the Generator and its surrounding area for the purpose of repairing, maintaining and removing said Generator.

 

(5) Unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements, Tenant shall only test the Generator to ensure proper functioning before or after normal business hours and at a time mutually agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant in advance. Tenant shall be permitted to use the Generator Area solely for the maintenance and operation of the Generator, and the Generator and Generator Area are solely for the benefit of Tenant. All electricity generated by the Generator may only be consumed by Tenant in the Premises.

 

(6) Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any services, including, without limitation, electric current, to the Generator Area.

 

(7) Tenant shall have no right to sublet the Generator Area or to assign its interest hereunder; provided that Tenant shall have the right to participate in demand response programs and capacity markets offered by the local electric utility, competitive energy retailers, and/or the New England Independent System Operator (ISO-NE).

 

(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time during the Term Landlord determines in its sole but bona fide reasonable business judgment, that the Generator and/or any appurtenances interfere with the operations of the Building or the operations of any of the occupants of the Building, then Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, cease any further operation of the Generator, From and after such notice by Landlord, Tenant shall have no further right to operate the Generator unless and until Tenant shall have redesigned and modified the Generator and/or installations in a manner approved by Landlord in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, provided however, that Landlord’s approval of such redesign and modification shall constitute the mere permission to operate the Generator, which permission shall in no event be construed to abrogate or diminish Landlord’s rights or Tenant’s obligations under this Section 1.3(d) or the Lease.

The parties agree and acknowledge that, despite reasonable and customary precautions (which Landlord agrees it shall exercise), any property or equipment in the Premises of a delicate, fragile or vulnerable nature may nevertheless be damaged in the course of performing Landlord’s obligations.

4.5 Parking and Traffic Demand Management Plan. In the event during the Term of this Lease, the Property becomes subject to a Parking and Traffic Demand Management Plan with the City of Cambridge (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “PTDM”), Tenant agrees, at its sole expense, to comply with the requirements of the PTDM, insofar as they apply to the Premises and/or Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof.

5. RENT; ADDITIONAL RENT

 

5.1 Base Rent. During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent in equal monthly installments, in advance and without demand on the first day of each month for and with respect to such month. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent (collectively, “Rent”) shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date, and shall be prorated for any partial months, Rent shall be payable to Landlord or, if Landlord shall so direct in writing, to Landlord’s agent or nominee, in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment. All other charges and amounts payable by or due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be “Additional Rent”.

 

5.2 Management Fee Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, a “Property Management Fee Rent” equal to three percent (3%) of each payment of monthly Base Rent due under the Lease. The Property Management Fee Rent shall be paid monthly to Landlord in the same manner and at the same time as the monthly Base Rent.

 

5.3 Taxes.

 

(a) “Taxes” shall mean the real estate taxes and other taxes, levies and assessments imposed upon the Building and the Land, and upon any personal property of Landlord used in the operation thereof, or on Landlord’s interest therein or such personal property; charges, fees and assessments for transit, housing, police, fire or other services or purported benefits to the Building and the Land (including without limitation any community preservation assessments); service or user payments in lieu of taxes; and any and all other taxes, levies, betterments, assessments and charges arising from the ownership, leasing, operation, use or occupancy of the Building and the Land or based upon rentals derived therefrom, which are or shall be imposed by federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental authorities. From and after substantial completion of any occupiable improvements constructed as part of a Future Development, if such improvements are not separately assessed, Landlord shall reasonably allocate Taxes between the Building and such improvements and the land area associated with the same. Taxes shall not include any inheritance, estate, succession, gift, franchise, rental, income or profit tax, capital stock tax, capital levy or excise, or any income taxes arising out of or related to the ownership and operation of the Building and the Land, or similar taxes, fees, duties, charges, assessments, or levies, provided, however, that any of the same and any other tax, excise, fee, levy, charge or assessment, however described, that may in the future be levied or assessed as a substitute for or an addition to, in whole or in part, any tax, levy or assessment which would otherwise constitute Taxes, whether or not now customary or in the contemplation of the parties on the Execution Date of this Lease, shall constitute Taxes, but only to the extent calculated as if the Buildings and the Land were the only real estate owned by Landlord. “Taxes” shall also include reasonable expenses (including without limitation legal and consultant fees) of tax abatement or other proceedings contesting assessments or levies.

 

(b) “Tax Period” shall be any fiscal/tax period in respect of which Taxes are due and payable to the appropriate governmental taxing authority (i.e., as mandated by the governmental taxing authority), any portion of which period occurs during the Term of this Lease,

 

PAGE 12

 

 

(c) Payment of Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Building Share of Taxes relating to or allocable to the Building and Tenant’s Share of Taxes relating to or allocable to the Land (collectively “Tax Share”). Landlord may make a good faith estimate of the Taxes to be due by Tenant for any Tax Period or part thereof during the Term, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the Rent Commencement Date and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of Taxes for such Tax Period or part thereof divided by the number of months therein. Landlord may estimate and re-estimate Tenant’s Share of Taxes and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of Tenant’s Share of Taxes shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the Tax Period in question, Tenant shall have paid all of Tenant’s Share of Taxes as estimated by Landlord. Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Taxes are available for each Tax Period, If the total of such monthly remittances is greater than Tenant’s Share of Taxes actually due for such Tax Period, then, provided no Event of Default has occurred nor any event which with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of additional rent on account of Taxes due hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the Term, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord. If the total of such remittances is less than Tenant’s Share of Taxes actually due for such Tax Period, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Landlord’s estimate for the next Tax Period shall be based upon actual Taxes for the prior Tax Period plus a reasonable adjustment based upon estimated increases or decreases in Taxes. The provisions of this Section 5.3(c) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

(d) Effect of Abatements. Appropriate credit against Taxes shall be given for any refund obtained by reason of a reduction in any Taxes by the assessors or the administrative, judicial or other governmental agency responsible therefor after deduction of Landlord’s expenditures for reasonable legal fees and for other reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the Tax refund.

 

(e) Part Years. If the Rent Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs in the middle of a Tax Period, Tenant shall be liable for only that portion of the Taxes, as the case may be, with respect to such Tax Period within the Term.

 

5.4 Late Payments.

 

(a) Any payment of Rent due hereunder not paid when due shall bear interest for each month or fraction thereof from the due date until paid in full at the annual rate of twelve percent (12%), or at any applicable lesser maximum legally permissible rate for debts of this nature (the “Default Rate”).

 

(b) Additionally, if Tenant fails to make any payment within five (5) days after the due date therefor, Landlord may charge Tenant a fee, which shall constitute liquidated damages, equal to One Thousand and NO/lOO Dollars ($1,000.00) for each such late payment.

 

PAGE 13

 

 

(c) For each Tenant payment check to Landlord that is returned by a bank for any reason, Tenant shall pay a returned check charge equal to the amount as shall be customarily charged by Landlord’s bank at the time.

 

(d) Money paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be applied to Tenant’s account in the following order: first, to any unpaid Additional Rent, including without limitation late charges, returned check charges, legal fees and/or court costs chargeable to Tenant hereunder; and then to unpaid Base Rent.

 

(e) The parties agree that the late charge referenced in Section 5.4(b) represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any late payment by Tenant, and the payment of late charges and interest are distinct and separate in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for the use of Landlord’s money by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for Landlord’s processing, administrative and other costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s delinquent payments. Acceptance of a late charge or interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity now or hereafter in effect.

 

(f) If Tenant during any six (6) month period shall be more than five (5) days delinquent in the payment of any installment of Rent on three (3) or more occasions, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to require Tenant to pay all Base Rent and Additional Rent quarterly in advance. Such right shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other right or remedy available to Landlord hereunder or at law on account of Tenant’s default hereunder.

 

5.5 No Offset; Independent Covenants; Waiver. Rent shall be paid without notice or demand, and without setoff, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction or deduction, except as expressly provided herein. TENANT WAIVES ALL RIGHTS (I) TO ANY ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, REDUCTION OR DEDUCTION OF OR FROM RENT, AND (II) TO QUIT, TERMINATE OR SURRENDER THIS LEASE OR THE PREMISES OR ANY PART THEREOF, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN. TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER SHALL BE SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS, THAT RENT SHALL CONTINUE TO BE PAYABLE IN ALL EVENTS AND THAT THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER SHALL CONTINUE UNAFFECTED, UNLESS THE REQUIREMENT TO PAY OR PERFORM THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN TERMINATED PURSUANT TO AN EXPRESS PROVISION OF THIS LEASE. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE INDEPENDENT NATURE OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER REPRESENTS FAIR, REASONABLE, AND ACCEPTED COMMERCIAL PRACTICE WITH RESPECT TO THE TYPE OF PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THIS LEASE, AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS THE PRODUCT OF FREE AND INFORMED NEGOTIATION DURING WHICH BOTH LANDLORD AND TENANT WERE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL SKILLED IN NEGOTIATING AND DRAFTING COMMERCIAL LEASES IN MASSACHUSETTS, AND THAT THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLDING IN WESSON V. LEONE ENTERPRISES, INC., 437 MASS. 708 (2002). SUCH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS BY TENANT ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE.

 

PAGE 14

 

 

5.6 Survival. Any payment obligations under this Section 5 which shall not have been paid at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall survive such expiration or earlier termination and shall be paid when and as the amount of same shall be determined and be due.

7. SECURITY DEPOSIT; LETTER OF CREDIT

 

7.1 Amount. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either as Tenant shall so elect (i) cash in the amount specified in the Lease Summary Sheet (the “Cash Security Deposit”), which shall be held by Landlord in accordance with Section 7.4 below, or (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) that shall (a) be in the initial amount of $560,234.61; (b) be issued on the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; and (d) be drawn on an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that satisfies both the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold (as those terms are defined below). The “Minimum Rating Agency Threshold” shall mean that the issuing bank has outstanding unsecured, uninsured and unguaranteed senior long-term indebtedness that is then rated (without regard to qualification of such rating by symbols such as “+” or “-” or numerical notation) “Baa” or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and/or “BBB” or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, or a comparable rating by a comparable national rating agency designated by Landlord in its discretion. The “Minimum Capital Threshold” shall mean that the Issuing Bank has combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $10,000,000,000. The Letter of Credit (and any renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year. If the issuer of the Letter of Credit gives notice of its election not to renew such Letter of Credit for any additional period, Tenant shall be required to deliver a substitute Letter of Credit satisfying the conditions hereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such Letter of Credit. If the issuer of the Letter of Credit fails to satisfy either or both of the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold or the Minimum Capital Threshold, Tenant shall be required to deliver a substitute letter of credit from another issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord and that satisfies both the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold not later than ten (10) business days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such failure. Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time, as necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit so that a Letter of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in effect until a date which is at least sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least sixty (60) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Article 7. Any renewal or replacement of the original or any subsequent Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the original Letter of Credit as set forth above, except that such replacement or renewal shall be issued by a national bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord at the time of the issuance thereof.

 

PAGE 15

 

 

7.2 Application of Proceeds of Letter of Credit. Upon an Event of Default, or if any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Tenant pursuant to any of the provisions of any Act of Congress or State law relating to bankruptcy, reorganizations, arrangements, compositions or other relief from creditors (and, in the case of any proceeding instituted against it, if Tenant shall fail to have such proceedings dismissed within thirty (30) days) or if Tenant is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent as a result of any such proceeding, Landlord at its sole option may draw down all or a part of the Letter of Credit. The balance of any Letter of Credit cash proceeds shall be held in accordance with Section 7.4 below. Should the entire Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, be drawn down by Landlord, Tenant shall, upon the written demand of Landlord, deliver a replacement Letter of Credit in the amount drawn, and Tenant’s failure to do so within ten (10) days after receipt of such written demand shall constitute an additional Event of Default hereunder. The application of all or any part of the cash proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any obligation or default of Tenant under this Lease shall not deprive Landlord of any other rights or remedies Landlord may have nor shall such application by Landlord constitute a waiver by Landlord.

 

7.3 Transfer of Letter of Credit. In the event that Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Tenant shall upon notice from and at no cost to Landlord, deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit naming Landlord’s successor as the beneficiary thereof. If Tenant fails to deliver such amendment or replacement within ten (10) business days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to draw down the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 7.4 below.

 

7.4 Cash Proceeds of Letter of Credit. Landlord shall hold the Cash Security Deposit and/or the balance of proceeds remaining after a draw on the Letter of Credit (each hereinafter referred to as the “Security Deposit”) as security for Tenant’s performance of all its Lease obligations. After an Event of Default, Landlord may apply the Security Deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages without prejudice to any other Landlord remedy. Landlord has no obligation to pay interest on the Security Deposit and may co-mingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s funds. If Landlord conveys its interest under this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any part not applied previously, may be turned over to the grantee in which case Tenant shall look solely to the grantee for the proper application and return of the Security Deposit.

 

7.5 Return of Security Deposit or Letter of Credit. Should Tenant comply with all of such terms, covenants and conditions and promptly pay all sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, the Security Deposit and/or Letter of Credit or the remaining proceeds therefrom, as applicable, shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the end of the Term, less any portion thereof which may have been utilized by Landlord to cure any default or applied to any actual damage suffered by Landlord.

 

PAGE 16

 

 

7.6 Reduction in Security Deposit or Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided that no Default by Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease occurs (i) at any time prior to the Effective Reduction Date, as hereinafter defined, and (ii) on the Effective Reduction Date (the “Reduction Conditions”), the Security Deposit shall be reduced to $420,175.96 (the “Reduced Security Deposit Amount”) effective as of January 31, 2019 (the “Effective Reduction Date”). In no event shall the Security Deposit ever be reduced below $420,175.96. Any reduction in the Security Deposit shall be accomplished as follows:

 

(a) If the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, then so long as the Reduction Conditions have been met Tenant shall, on or after the Effective Reduction Date, either deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which satisfies the requirements of this Section in the Reduced Security Deposit Amount, in substitution of the Letter of Credit which Landlord is then holding, or deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit which Landlord is then holding, which amendment shall reduce the amount of said Letter of Credit to the Reduced Security Deposit Amount and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

 

(b) If the Security Deposit is in the form of a cash security deposit, then Tenant shall, on or after the Effective Reduction Date, request such reduction in a written notice to Landlord, and Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after its receipt of such request, provide to Tenant a partial refund of the Security Deposit so that Landlord will be holding the Reduced Security Deposit Amount (i.e., $420,175.96).

 

If the Reduction Conditions are not met on the Effective Reduction Date, then there shall be no reduction in the Security Deposit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord declines to allow the reduction of the Security Deposit as of the Effective Reduction Date by reason of Tenant’s failure to be in compliance with the Reduction Conditions, Tenant shall be entitled to such reduction of the Security Deposit if Tenant subsequently cures all outstanding defaults and, at the time that it cures all such defaults, Tenant then satisfies both of the Reduction Conditions.

In seeking Landlord’s approval, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at least fourteen (14) days in advance of any proposed construction, with plans, specifications, bid proposals, certified stamped engineering drawings and calculations by Tenant’s engineer of record or architect of record, (including connections to the Building’s structural system, modifications to the Building’s envelope, non- structural penetrations in slabs or walls, and modifications or tie-ins to life safety systems), work contracts, requests for laydown areas and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the alterations as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for any claim, injury or damage alleged to have been caused by the particular materials (whether building standard or non-building standard), appliances or equipment selected by Tenant in connection with any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all Alterations shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the cost of Landlord’s supervisory personnel overseeing the After-Hours Work. In addition, if construction during normal construction hours unreasonably disturbs other tenants of the Building, in Landlord’s sole discretion, Landlord may require Tenant to stop the performance of Alterations during normal construction hours and to perform the same after hours, subject to the foregoing requirement to pay for the cost of Landlord’s supervisory personnel.

 

11.3 Harmonious Relations. Tenant agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, use any contractors and/or materials if their use will create any difficulty, whether in the nature of a labor dispute or otherwise, with other contractors and/or labor engaged by Tenant or Landlord or others in the construction, maintenance and/or operation of the Building, the Property or any part thereof. In the event of any such difficulty, upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such difficulty to leave the Property immediately.

 

11.4 Liens. No Alterations shall be undertaken by Tenant until (i) Tenant has made provision for written waiver of liens from all contractors for such Alteration and taken other appropriate protective measures approved and/or required by Landlord, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion; and (ii) Tenant has procured appropriate surety payment and performance bonds which shall name Landlord as an additional obligee and has filed lien bond(s) (in jurisdictions where available) on behalf of such contractors. Any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Building for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant shall be discharged by Tenant within ten (10) business days thereafter, at Tenant’s expense by filing the bond required by law or otherwise.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, as set forth in Section 25.7, incurred by Landlord in reviewing the Transfer Request. If Landlord fails to grant its consent or if consent is not affirmatively withheld for a good reason within such twenty-five (25) day period, then Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a reminder notice specifically identifying the provisions of Section 13.3 and advising Landlord, IN PROMINENT BOLD TYPE, of the effect of Landlord’s failure timely to respond to such reminder notice.

Landlord and Tenant each agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate clauses to be included in its property insurance policies necessary to implement the foregoing provisions; provided however that the provisions of this Section 14.5 shall not apply in those instances in which a waiver of subrogation would cause either party’s insurance coverage to be voided or otherwise made uncollectible.

 

14.6 Tenant’s Acts—Effect on Insurance. Tenant shall not knowingly do or permit any Tenant Party to do any act or thing upon the Premises or elsewhere in the Building which will invalidate or be in conflict with any of Tenant’s insurance policies covering the Building and the fixtures and property therein; and shall not do, or permit to be done, any act or thing upon the Premises which shall subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or persons or to property by reason of any business or operation being carried on upon said Premises or for any other reason. If by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions hereof the insurance rate applicable to any policy of insurance of Landlord shall at any time thereafter be higher than it otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for that part of any insurance premiums which shall have been charged because of such failure by Tenant, within ten (10) business days after receipt of an invoice therefor.

Landlord shall further procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance with a single loss limit of not less than $2,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Property.

 

15. CASUALTY; TAKING

 

15.1 Damage. If the Premises are damaged in whole or part because of fire or other casualty or otherwise become not habitable (“Casualty”), or if the Premises are subject to a taking in connection with the exercise of any power of eminent domain, condemnation, or purchase under threat or in lieu thereof (any of the foregoing, a “Taking”), then unless this Lease is terminated in accordance with Section 15.2 below, Landlord shall restore the Building and/or the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately following completion of Tenant’s Work, or in the event of a partial Taking which affects the Building and the Premises, restore the remainder of the Building and the Premises not so Taken to substantially the same condition as is reasonably feasible. If, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, any element of the Tenant-Insured Improvements can more effectively be restored as an integral part of Landlord’s restoration of the Building or the Premises, such restoration shall also be made by Landlord, but at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Subject to rights of Mortgagees, Tenant Delays, Legal Requirements then in existence and to delays for adjustment of insurance proceeds or Taking awards, as the case may be, and instances of Landlord’s Force Majeure, Landlord shall substantially complete such restoration within one (1) year after Landlord’s receipt of all required permits therefor with respect to substantial reconstruction of at least 50% of the Building, or, within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord’s receipt of all required permits therefor in the case of restoration of less than 50% of the Building. Upon substantial completion of such restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall use diligent efforts to complete restoration of the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Taking, as the case may be, as soon as reasonably possible. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in such manner as Landlord may reasonably request to assist Landlord in collecting insurance proceeds due in connection with any Casualty which affects the Premises or the Building. In no event shall Landlord be required to expend more than the Net (hereinafter defined) insurance proceeds Landlord receives for damage to the Premises and/or the Building or the Net Taking award attributable to the Premises and/or the Building. “Net” means the insurance proceeds or Taking award actually paid to Landlord (and not paid over to a Mortgagee) less all costs and expenses, including reasonable adjusters and attorney’s fees, of obtaining the same. Except as Landlord may elect pursuant to this Section 15.1, under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair any damage to, or make any repairs to or replacements of, any Tenant-Insured Improvements. If part of the Premises shall be subject to a Taking, and this Lease is not terminated as provided in this Section 15, the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired Term shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances and to reflect Tenant’s diminished ability to use the Premises.

 

PAGE 31

 

 

15.2 Termination Rights.

 

(a) Landlord’s Termination Rights. Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant if:

 

(i) any material portion of the Building or any material means of access thereto is subject to a Taking;

 

(ii) more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the Building is damaged by Casualty; or

 

(iii) if the estimated time to complete restoration exceeds one (1) year from the date on which Landlord receives all required permits for such restoration.

 

(b) Tenant’s Termination Right. If Landlord is so required but fails to complete restoration of the Premises within the time frames and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 15.1 above but in no event more than seventeen (17) months from the date of the Casualty or the Taking affecting at least 50% of the Building or eight (8) months where less than 50% of the Building is affected, then Tenant may terminate this Lease, without penalty or prejudice, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Taking would materially interfere with or impair Tenant’s use of the Premises and such interference cannot be remedied by restoration as set forth above, then Tenant may terminate this Lease, without penalty or prejudice, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to Landlord, The remedies set forth in this Section 15.2(b) and in Section 15.2(c) below are Tenant’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies based upon Landlord’s failure to complete the restoration of the Premises as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 15.2 if the Casualty was caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of any Tenant Party.

 

(c) Either Party May Terminate. In the case of any Casualty or Taking affecting the Premises and occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then (i) if such Casualty or Taking results in more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor area of the Premises being unsuitable for the Permitted Uses, or (ii) the damage to the Premises costs more than $250,000 to restore, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the other. In addition, if Landlord’s Mortgagee does not release sufficient insurance proceeds to cover the cost of Landlord’s restoration obligations, then Landlord shall (i) notify Tenant thereof, and (ii) have the right to terminate this Lease. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease pursuant to the previous sentence and such notice by Landlord does not include an agreement by Landlord to pay for the difference between the cost of such restoration and such released insurance proceeds, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15, in no event may Tenant elect to terminate this Lease hereunder if the Casualty that would otherwise give rise to such right results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Tenant Party.

 

PAGE 32

 

 

(d) Automatic Termination. In the case of a Taking of the entire Premises, then this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of possession by the Taking authority.

 

(e) Rent Abatement. In the event of a Casualty affecting the Premises, there shall be an equitable adjustment of Base Rent, Property Management Fee Rent and Tenant’s Share of Taxes based upon the degree to which Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in the Premises is impaired by reason of such Casualty from and after the date of a Casualty, and continuing until the following portions of the repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord, as set forth above, are substantially completed: (i) any repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord within the Premises, and (ii) repair and restoration work with respect to the Common Areas to the extent that damage to the Common Areas caused by such Casualty materially adversely affects Tenant’s use of, or access to, the Premises.

 

15.3 Taking for Temporary Use. If the Premises are Taken for temporary use, this Lease and Tenant’s obligations, including without limitation the payment of Rent, shall continue. For purposes hereof, a “Taking for temporary use” shall mean a Taking of ninety (90) days or less.

 

15.4 Disposition of Awards. Except for any separate award for Tenant’s movable trade fixtures, relocation expenses, and unamortized leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant (provided that the same may not reduce Landlord’s award), all Taking awards to Landlord or Tenant shall be Landlord’s property without Tenant’s participation, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant may pursue its own claim against the Taking authority.

 

16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

 

Tenant shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), and the dates to which Rent has been paid in advance, if any, stating whether or not Landlord is in default in performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default, and such other facts as Landlord may reasonably request, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the Building or of any interest of Landlord therein, any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee thereof, any lessor or prospective lessor thereof, any lessee or prospective lessee thereof, or any prospective assignee of any mortgage thereof. Time is of the essence with respect to any such requested certificate, Tenant hereby acknowledging the importance of such certificates in mortgage financing arrangements, prospective sales and the like.

Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations under the preceding sentence to promptly cure any condition causing any such violation in the event that, in lieu of such cure, Tenant shall contest the validity of such violation by appellate or other proceedings permitted under Legal Requirements, provided that: (i) any such contest is made reasonably and in good faith, (ii) Tenant makes provisions, including, without limitation, posting bond(s) or giving other security, reasonably acceptable to Landlord to protect Landlord, the Building and the Property from any liability, costs, damages or expenses arising in connection with such alleged violation and failure to cure, (iii) Tenant shall agree to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all liability, costs, damages, or expenses arising in connection with such condition and/or violation, (iv) Tenant shall promptly cure any violation in the event that its appeal of such violation is overruled or rejected, and (v) Tenant’s decision to delay such cure shall not, in Landlord’s good faith determination, be likely to result in any actual or threatened bodily injury, property damage, or any civil or criminal liability to Landlord, any tenant or occupant of the Building or the Property, or any other person or entity. Nothing contained in this Section 19.1 shall be construed to expand the uses permitted hereunder beyond the Permitted Uses. Landlord shall comply with any Legal Requirements and with any direction of any public office or officer-relating to the maintenance or operation of the structural elements of the Property, including the Buildings and the Common Areas.

20.2 Remedies. Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease; and thereupon (and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be available for arrears of Rent or preceding breach of covenant or agreement and without prejudice to Tenant’s liability for damages as hereinafter stated), upon the giving of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified therein as though that were the Expiration Date. Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the right to utilize the Security Deposit or draw down the entire Letter of Credit, as applicable, and apply the proceeds thereof to its damages hereunder. Without being taken or deemed to be guilty of any manner of trespass or conversion, and without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, Landlord may, by lawful process in compliance with all Legal Requirements, enter into and upon the Premises (or any part thereof in the name of the whole); repossess the same, as of its former estate; and expel Tenant and those claiming under Tenant. The words “re-entry” and “re-enter” as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

 

20.3 Damages - Termination.

 

(a) Upon the termination of this Lease under the provisions of this Section 20, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent up to the time of such termination, shall continue to be liable for any preceding breach of covenant, and in addition, shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

 

(i) the amount (discounted to present value at the discount rate applicable to United States Treasury obligations having a maturity date that is the same as the date this Lease would have expired but for Tenant’s Event of Default) by which, at the time of the termination of this Lease (or at any time thereafter if Landlord shall have initially elected damages under Section 20.3(a)(ii) below), (x) the aggregate of Rent projected over the period commencing with such termination and ending on the Expiration Date, exceeds (y) the aggregate projected rental value of the Premises for such period, taking into account a reasonable time period during which the Premises shall be unoccupied, plus all Reletting Costs (hereinafter defined); or

 

PAGE 40

 

 

(ii) amounts equal to Rent which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not been so terminated, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination and until the Expiration Date, provided, however, if Landlord shall re-let the Premises during such period, that Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such re-letting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such re-letting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord, in good faith, in terminating this Lease, as well as the expenses incurred by Landlord, in good faith, of re-letting, including altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, and all other similar and dissimilar expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom (collectively, “Reletting Costs”), it being understood that any such re-letting may be for a period equal to or shorter or longer than the remaining Term; and provided, further, that (x) in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder and (y) in no event shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Section 20.3(a)(ii) to a credit in respect of any net rents from a re-letting except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord prior to the commencement of such suit. If the Premises or any part thereof should be re-let in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot area basis shall be made of the rent received from such re-letting and of the expenses of re-letting.

 

(b) In calculating the amount due under Section 20.3(a)(i), above, there shall be included, in addition to the Base Rent, all other considerations agreed to be paid or performed by Tenant, including without limitation Tenant’s payment of the Property Management Fee Rent, on the assumption that all such amounts and considerations (but not including the Property Management Fee Rent) would have increased at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum for the balance of the remaining Term (i.e., had the Term expired but for Tenant’s Event of Default).

 

(c) Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been terminated hereunder.

 

(d) Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any Event of Default hereunder.

 

(e) Intentionally Omitted.

 

(f) Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the Premises in the event that the Lease is terminated based upon a default by Tenant hereunder. Nothing herein shall obligate Landlord to market Tenant’s Premises in a manner different from the manner in which Landlord markets other premises similar to the Premises that are within Landlord’s control in the Buildings. In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to re-let the Premises free of any claim of Tenant (Landlord hereby agreeing that Tenant shall be deemed to have satisfied the conditions of this clause (i) if Tenant, and anyone claiming by, through, or under Tenant, have vacated and delivered the Premises to Landlord and Tenant has delivered to Landlord a letter irrevocably waiving any right which Tenant might have to recover possession of the Premises), (ii) relet the Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Building, (iii) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rental then prevailing for similar space in the Buildings, or (iv) enter into a lease with any proposed tenant that does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources or operating experience to operate the Premises in a first-class manner.

 

PAGE 41

 

 

If Landlord terminates this Lease during the Initial Term, no damages or other amounts shall be payable hereunder to Landlord related in any way to the Extension Term if Tenant at the time of termination had not yet provided the Extension Notice to Landlord.

 

20.4 Landlord’s Self-Help; Fees and Expenses. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any covenant on Tenant’s part to be performed in this Lease contained, including without limitation the obligation to maintain the Premises in the required condition pursuant to Section 10.1 above, Landlord may, upon reasonable advance notice, except that no notice shall be required in an emergency, immediately, or at any time thereafter, perform the same for the account of Tenant. Tenant shall, subject to the last sentence of this Section 20.4, pay to Landlord upon demand therefor, any costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest at the Default Rate until paid in full. In addition, Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred (i) in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or (ii) as a result of Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties, without its fault, being made party to any litigation pending by or against any of the Tenant Parties. In the event of any litigation between Landlord and Tenant, the losing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys fees and court costs.

 

20.5 Waiver of Redemption, Statutory Notice and Grace Periods. Tenant does hereby waive and surrender all rights and privileges which it might have under or by reason of any present or future Legal Requirements to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Term hereby demised after being dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided. Except to the extent prohibited by Legal Requirements, any statutory notice and grace periods provided to Tenant by law are hereby expressly waived by Tenant.

 

20.6 Remedies Not Exclusive. Except where explicitly set forth otherwise herein, the specified remedies to which Landlord or Tenant may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord or Tenant may at any time be lawfully entitled, and Landlord or Tenant may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.

 

20.7 No Waiver. Landlord’s or Tenant’s failure to seek redress for violation, or to insist upon the strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations promulgated hereunder, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The failure of Landlord to enforce any of such Rules and Regulations against Tenant and/or any other tenant in the Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations. No provisions of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by either party unless such waiver be in writing signed by such party. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy ill this Lease provided.

 

PAGE 42

 

 

20.8 Restrictions on Tenant’s Rights. During the continuation of any Event of Default, (a) Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with any notice pursuant to Sections 2,3 and 2.4 above; and (b) Tenant shall not have the right to make, nor to request Landlord’s consent or approval with respect to, any Alterations or Transfers.

 

20.9 Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease unless Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default, provided that, and so long as, Landlord commences to cure within 30 days) after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation and Landlord thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold rent or to set-off or deduct any claim or damages against rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its covenants or any warranties or promises hereunder, except in the case of a wrongful eviction of Tenant from the Premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord, unless same continues after notice to Landlord thereof and an opportunity for Landlord to cure the same as set forth above, hr addition, Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against Landlord from rent thereafter due and payable under this Lease. The foregoing shall not delay or affect Tenant’s rights under Sections 9.7 or 15.2.

Unless otherwise agreed by the patties in writing, no employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

21.2 Abandoned Property. After the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, if Tenant fails to remove any property from the Building or the Premises, which Tenant is obligated by the terms of this Lease to remove within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord in the event of any earlier termination of this Lease based upon Tenant’s default (or ten (10) business days after any earlier termination of this Lease for any reason other than Tenant’s default), such property (the “Abandoned Property”) shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned, and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any item of Abandoned Property shall be sold, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option, to the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under Section 20 hereof or pursuant to law, and to any arrears of Rent.

 

21.3 Holdover. If any of the Tenant Parties holds over (which term shall include, without limitation, the failure of Tenant or any Tenant Party to perform all of its obligations under Section 21.1 above) after the end of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant-at- sufferance subject to the provisions of this Lease; provided that whether or not Landlord has previously accepted payments of Rent from Tenant, (i) Tenant shall pay at the Hold Over Percentage, as hereinafter defined, of the Base Rent, at the highest rate of Base Rent payable during the Term, (ii) Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord all Additional Rent, and (iii) Tenant shall be liable for all damages, including without limitation lost business and consequential damages, incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over, Tenant hereby acknowledging that Landlord may need the Premises after the end of the Term for other tenants and that the damages which Landlord may suffer as the result of Tenant’s holding over cannot be determined as of the Execution Date.

Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any warranties in effect on the last day of the Term with respect to any fixtures and Alterations installed in the Premises and retained by the Landlord following expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

22. MORTGAGEE RIGHTS

 

22.1 Subordination. Tenant’s rights and interests under this Lease shall be (i) subject and subordinate to any ground lease, overleases, mortgage, deed of trust, or similar instrument covering the Premises, the Building and/or the Land and to all advances, modifications, renewals, replacements, and extensions thereof (each of the foregoing, a “Mortgage”), or (ii) if any Mortgagee elects, prior to the lien of any present or future Mortgage. Tenant further shall attorn to and recognize any successor landlord, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, as if the successor landlord were the originally named landlord. The provisions of this Section 22.1 shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination or attornment; however, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination and attornment in such form as shall be requested by any such holder within fifteen (15) days of request therefor. Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, shall use Landlord’s best efforts to obtain a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (“NDA”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 11, acceptable to Tenant in favor of Tenant (and if so requested, any sublease or transferee following a Transfer) from any current and future Mortgagee(s), lease holders and other parties encumbering, and/or with superior interests to Tenant in, the Property, or any portion thereof, where such NDA shall provide, at minimum, that such third parties will not disturb Tenant’s peaceful occupancy and holding of the Premises under this Lease. The NDA may be included in the document that sets forth the subordination and attornment referenced above in this Section 22.1.

 

22.2 Notices. Tenant shall give each Mortgagee the same notices given to Landlord concurrently with the notice to Landlord, and each Mortgagee shall have a reasonable opportunity thereafter to cure a Landlord default, and Mortgagee’s curing of any of Landlord’s default shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

 

22.3 Mortgagee Consent. Tenant acknowledges that, where applicable, any consent or approval hereafter given by Landlord may be subject to the further consent or approval of a Mortgagee; and the failure or refusal of such Mortgagee to give such consent or approval shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, constitute reasonable justification for Landlord’s withholding its consent or approval.

 

22.4 Mortgagee Liability. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if any Mortgage shall be foreclosed, (a) the liability of the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns shall exist only so long as such Mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the Premises, and such liability shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership; and (b) such Mortgagee and its successors or assigns shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor under this Lease; (ii) liable for the performance of Landlord’s covenants pursuant to the provisions of this Lease which arise and accrue prior to such entity succeeding to the interest of Landlord under this Lease or acquiring such right to possession; (iii) subject to any offsets or defense which Tenant may have at any time against Landlord; (iv) bound by any base rent or other sum which Tenant may have paid previously for more than one (1) month; or (v) liable for the performance of any covenant of Landlord under this Lease which is capable of performance only by the original Landlord.

23. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

 

Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant keeps and performs each and every monetary and material non-monetary covenant, agreement, term, provision and condition herein contained on the part and on behalf of Tenant to be kept and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises, the Storage Premises and the PH System Premises during the Term from and against the claims of all persons lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord subject, nevertheless, to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, any matters of record or of which Tenant has knowledge and to any Mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate, as hereinabove set forth.

Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with all requests by Tenant for consents, approvals or execution of collateral documentation related to this Lease, including, without limitation, costs incurred by Landlord in the review and approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications in connection with proposed Alterations to be made by Tenant to the Premises or in connection with requests by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to make a Transfer. Such costs shall be deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease.

25.9 Limitation of Liability. Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim against Landlord or any of the other Landlord Parties, or the assets of any of the Landlord Parties, for breach of this Lease or otherwise, other than against Landlord’s interest in the Property and in the uncollected rents, issues and profits thereof, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this Lease. This Section 25.9 shall not limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or any other Landlord Parties. Landlord and Tenant specifically agree that in no event shall any individual that is an officer, director, trustee, employee or representative of Landlord or Tenant or any of the other Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties, ever be personally liable for any obligation under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, neither Landlord nor any of the other Landlord Parties shall be liable for consequential or incidental damages or for lost profits whatsoever in connection with this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, neither Tenant nor any of the other Tenant Parties shall be liable for consequential or incidental damages or for lost profits in connection with this Lease, except that the provisions of this sentence will not affect or limit Tenant’s liability in the event of any breach by Tenant of its obligations under Sections 17, 21.1, or 21.3 of this Lease.

 

25.10 Binding Effect. The covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party hereto is named or referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Section 13 hereof shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant.

 

PAGE 49

 

 

25.11 Landlord Obligations upon Transfer. Upon any sale, transfer or other- disposition of the Building, Landlord shall be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and observance thereafter of all covenants and obligations hereunder on the part of Landlord to be performed and observed, it being understood and agreed in such event (and it shall be deemed and construed as a covenant running with the land) that the person succeeding to Landlord’s ownership of said reversionary interest shall thereupon and thereafter assume, and perform and observe, any and all of such covenants and obligations of Landlord, except as otherwise agreed in writing.

 

25.12 No Grant of Interest. Tenant shall not grant any interest whatsoever in any fixtures within the Premises or any item paid in whole by the Allowance (as defined in Exhibit 3) or otherwise by Landlord.

 

25.13 Financial Information.

Any such financial information may be relied upon by any actual or potential lessor, purchaser, or mortgagee of the Property or any portion thereof.

 

25.14 OFAC Certificate and Indemnity. Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 (the “Executive Order”), and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 10756, the “Patriot Act”) prohibit certain property transfers. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to be continuing and re-made at all times during the Term) that neither Tenant nor to Tenant’s knowledge any stockholder, manager, beneficiary, partner, or principal of Tenant is subject to the Executive Order, that none of them is listed on the United States Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” as modified from time to time, and that none of them is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Executive Order or the Patriot Act. The most current list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” can be found at http://www.treas.gov/offices/eotffc/ofac/sdn/index.html. Tenant shall from time to time, within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord any certification or other evidence requested from time to time by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, confirming Tenant’s compliance with these provisions. No assignment or subletting, other than a Related Party Transfer, shall be effective unless and until the assignee or subtenant thereunder delivers to Landlord written confirmation of such party’s compliance with the provisions of this subsection, in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. If for any reason the representations and warranties set forth in this subsection, or any certificate or other evidence of compliance delivered to Landlord hereunder, is untrue in any material respect when made or delivered, or thereafter becomes untrue in any material respect, then an Event of Default hereunder shall be deemed to occur immediately, and there shall be no opportunity to cure. Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and hold Landlord harmless from and against, any and all Claims arising from or related to the breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties, and duties of Tenant. The provisions of this subsection shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for the longest period permitted by law.

25.15 Confidentiality.

 

(a) Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential. Disclosure of the terms hereof could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases with respect to the Building and may impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants of the Building. Tenant agrees that it and its partners, officers, directors, employees, brokers, and attorneys, if any, shall not disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be given or withheld by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, except as required for financial disclosures or securities law filings, as required by the order of any court or public body with authority over Tenant or otherwise required by law, in connection with any litigation between Landlord and Tenant with respect this Lease, or if such information becomes publicly available through no breach of this Lease by Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to disclose the terms of this Lease to any of Tenant’s lenders, provided that Tenant advises such lenders that Tenant is subject to the confidentiality terms set forth in this Section 25.15(a).

 

(b) Landlord’s Obligations.

 

(i) Landlord acknowledges and agrees to hold any and all information of any kind provided by, or on behalf of, Tenant relating to Tenant’s business in the Premises and identified by Tenant to Landlord (i) in writing as confidential or (ii) verbally at the time that Landlord or its representative observes the same (all the foregoing, “Tenant Information”), confidential and not to disclose such to any third parties except for the specific Tenant Information that is permitted under this Lease elsewhere to be disclosed by Landlord to a third party. Landlord shall not use Tenant Information for any purpose other than performing its obligations and exercising its rights under this Lease or otherwise during the ordinary course of Landlord’s business. Tenant Information shall not include information which:

 

(1) is generally known to the public at the time of disclosure or observation by Landlord;

 

(2) becomes generally known to the public after disclosure hereunder other than by breach of this Lease by Landlord (or any third party to which Landlord disclosed Tenant Information pursuant to the terms of the Lease);

 

(3) is provided to Landlord by a third party who is lawfully entitled to possession of such Tenant Information and who does not violate any obligation to Tenant by providing such Tenant Information to the Landlord free of restriction, or

 

(4) is independently developed by employees or agents of the Landlord without the use of Tenant Information.

 

PAGE 51

 

 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained:

 

(1) Nothing herein shall preclude Landlord from disclosing information required by applicable Legal Requirements, court order, or in connection with litigations between the parties. In the event that Landlord is required by court order or governmental authority or other legal compulsion to disclose Tenant Information, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to promptly inform Tenant in writing so that Tenant may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Landlord shall, if so requested, cooperate, at no cost to Landlord, with Tenant in such manner as Tenant may reasonably request in connection with Tenant’s efforts to obtain any such order or other remedy. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, then Tenant may furnish only that portion of the Tenant Information which Landlord is advised by counsel that it is legally required to disclose and shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Tenant Information.

 

(2) Landlord shall have the right to disclose Tenant Information to Landlord’s mortgagees, investors, purchasers (as well as prospective mortgagees, investors and purchasers), directors, officers, accounts, attorneys, consultants, contractors and others who have the need to know such Tenant Information in the ordinary course of Landlord’s business.

 

(3) Where Landlord is permitted under this Lease to disclose specific Tenant Information to a third party, it shall only do so after Landlord advises such third party that Landlord is subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 25.15(b).

 

(c) It is understood and agreed that damages alone might not be an adequate remedy for the breach of this Section 25.15 by Tenant or Landlord, and Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall also have the right to seek specific performance of this provision and to seek injunctive relief to prevent its breach or continued breach.

EXHIBIT 3

 

TENANT’S WORK

 

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Indenture of Lease (the “Lease”) by and between JAMESTOWN PREMIER 245 FIRST, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and HORIZON DISCOVERY INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for space in the Building located at 245 First Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

 

1. Performance of Initial Alterations. Tenant, following the delivery of the Premises by Landlord and the full and final execution and delivery of the Lease to which this Exhibit is attached and all prepaid rental, if any, and security deposits required under such agreement, shall have the right to perform alterations and improvements in the Premises (the “Initial Alterations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant and its contractors shall not have the right to perform Initial Alterations in the Premises unless and until Tenant has complied with all of the terms and conditions of Section 9.03 of the Lease, including, without limitation, approval by Landlord of the final plans for the Initial Alterations and the contractors to be retained by Tenant to perform such Initial Alterations. Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans for the Initial Alterations shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing, Tenant’s plans shall be consistent with the Building’s standards for leasehold improvements. Landlord’s approval of the contractors to perform the Initial Alterations shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The parties agree that Landlord’s approval of the general contractor to perform the Initial Alterations shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld if any such general contractor (i) does not have trade references reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) does not maintain insurance as required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (iii) does not have the ability to be bonded for the work in an amount of no less than 150% of the total estimated cost of the Initial Alterations, or (iv) is not licensed as a contractor in the state/municipality in which the Premises is located. Tenant acknowledges the foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of the reasons why Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to a general contractor. Tenant shall ensure that all contractors performing the Initial Alterations include Landlord and such other parties as Landlord shall require as additional insureds on the insurance policies maintained by such contractors.

 

2. Budget and Landlord’s Share. Promptly after Landlord approves Tenant’s plans for the Initial Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an itemized statement (the “Budget”) of the estimated hard and soft costs of the Initial Alterations (the “Estimated Cost”). Tenant shall, on a monthly basis, deliver to Landlord an updated Budget of the Estimated Cost, based upon the information then available to Tenant. “Landlord’s Share” shall be defined as follows; (i) if the Estimated Cost, as set forth in the then current Budget is less than, or equal to, the Maximum Amount of the Allowance, as hereinafter defined, then Landlord’s Share shall be 100%, and (ii) if the Estimated Cost, as set forth in the then current Budget, is greater than the Maximum Amount, then Landlord’s Share shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Amount, and the denominator of which is the Estimated Cost, as set forth in the then current Budget.

 

EXHIBIT 3, PAGE 1

 

 

3. Definition of Allowance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Exhibit, Landlord agrees to contribute an amount (the “Allowance”) not to exceed of $338,715.00 (the “Maximum Amount”) toward the cost of performing the Initial Alterations in preparation of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. The Allowance may only be used for the costs (the “Permitted Costs”) incurred by Tenant: (i) in preparing design and construction documents and mechanical and electrical plans for the Initial Alterations, installing data/telecom cabling, and the purchasing of furniture (collectively, the “Soft Costs”), and (ii) the hard costs in connection with the Initial Alterations (collectively, the “Hard Costs”). No more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Maximum Amount may be used to pay for Soft Costs. In no event shall Permitted Costs include the cost of equipment, furniture or other items of personal property of Tenant.

 

4. Payment Procedures. Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of this Exhibit, pay Landlord’s Share of the amount requested by Tenant pursuant to each Requisition, as hereinafter defined, to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, to the order of the general contractor that performs the Initial Alterations, within 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of such Requisition, In no event shall Landlord be required to: (i) pay more than the Maximum Amount of the Allowance towards Permitted Costs, (ii) disburse the Allowance more than one time per month, or (iii) pay more than the Maximum Amount of the Allowance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Allowance during the continuance of an uncured default under the Lease, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such default is cured, Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to each Requisition in order to verify the amount thereof.

 

5. Requisition. A “Requisition” shall be defined as the following documentation: (i) an application for payment and sworn statement of contractor substantially in the form of AIA Document G-702 covering all work for which disbursement is to be made to a date specified therein; (ii) a certification from an AIA architect substantially in the form of the Architect’s Certificate for Payment which is located on AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate of Payment; (iii) Contractor’s, subcontractor’s and material supplier’s waivers of liens which shall cover all Initial Alterations for which disbursement is being requested and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics’ lien laws of the state in which the Premises is located, together with all such invoices, contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably require; (iv) a cost breakdown for each trade or subcontractor performing the Initial Alterations; (v) plans and specifications for the Initial Alterations, together with a certificate from an AIA architect that such plans and specifications comply in all material respects with all laws affecting the Building, Property and Premises; (vi) copies of all construction contracts for the Initial Alterations, together with copies of all change orders, if any; and (vii) a request to disburse from Tenant containing an approval by Tenant of the work done and a good faith estimate of the cost to complete the Initial Alterations. In addition, the final Requisition (i.e,, after the completion of the Initial Alterations, and prior to final disbursement of the Allowance) shall include the following documentation: (1) general contractor and architect’s completion affidavits, (2) full and final waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers, (3) receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used, (4) as-built plans of the Initial Alterations, and (5) the certification of Tenant and its architect that the Initial Alterations have been installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved plans, and in accordance with Legal Requirements, codes and ordinances.

 

EXHIBIT 3, PAGE 2

 

 

6. Outside Draw Date. If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire Allowance to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in this Exhibit by January 31, 2018, any unused amount shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith. Tenant shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, payable in connection with the Initial Alterations and/or Allowance.

 

7. No Administration and Supervision Fee. Tenant shall not be required to pay an administration and supervision fee to Landlord or to Landlord’s Building manager as compensation for the review of Tenant’s plans and other services rendered by the Building manager in connection with the Initial Alterations.

 

8. “As Is” Condition of Premises. Except as otherwise provided for in the Lease, Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in its “as-is” condition and configuration, it being agreed that Landlord shall not be required to perform any work or, except as provided above with respect to the Allowance, incur any costs in connection with the construction or demolition of any improvements in the Premises. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

 

9. Miscellaneous. Tenant shall have right to use the freight elevator and loading dock on a twenty-four-(24)-hour basis at no additional charge.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of this __ day of ___, ______, by and among JAMESTOWN PREMIER 245 FIRST, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), CAPITAL ONE, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as administrative agent for the lenders (as hereinafter defined) (in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”), and HORIZON DISCOVERY INC. (“Tenant”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A. Tenant has executed that certain lease dated as of [___________________] (the foregoing, as amended and/or assigned, and as the same may be further amended and/or assigned, the “Lease”), with Landlord, as lessor, covering the premises described in the Lease consisting of (i) approximately 22,581 rentable square feet of space on the third (3rd) floor of the Science Building (the “Principal Premises”); (ii) approximately 4,339 rentable square feet of storage space on the third (3rd) floor of the Science Building (the “Storage Premises”); and (iii) approximately 160 rentable square feet of space on the first floor of the Science Building (the “PH System Premises”, collectively with the Principal Premises and the Storage Premises, the “Premises”) in that certain building 245 First Street and One Athenaeum Way, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142 (the “Property”) and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference; and

 

B. Certain lenders (the “Lenders”) have made (or agreed to make) a loan to Landlord secured by a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property and an assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease (said mortgage or deed of trust and assignment of leases, together with any amendments, renewals, increases, modifications, substitutions or consolidations of either of them, collectively, the “Security Instrument”) in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders; and

 

C. Tenant and Administrative Agent desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Lease and the Security Instrument, and to have Landlord confirm its agreement therewith.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, terms, conditions, and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. The Lease and any extensions, modifications or renewals thereof, including but not limited to any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer to purchase the Property or any portion thereof, if any, is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien of the Security Instrument.

 

EXHIBIT 11 PAGE 1

 

 

2. Tenant agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent, in the manner set forth in Paragraph 13 of this Agreement, a copy of any notice of default sent to Landlord by Tenant. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided in the Lease, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default on behalf of Landlord within thirty (30) calendar days after the time provided for Landlord to cure such default in the Lease has expired or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, within a reasonable period provided Administrative Agent is proceeding with due diligence to cure such default. In such event, then (i) Tenant shall not terminate the Lease while such remedies are being diligently pursued by Administrative Agent and (ii) Tenant shall not terminate the Lease on the basis of any default by Landlord which is incurable by Administrative Agent (such as, for example, the bankruptcy of Landlord or breach of any representation by Landlord), provided Administrative Agent is proceeding with due diligence to commence an action to appoint a receiver or to obtain title to the Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise (collectively, “Foreclosure”). Tenant hereby agrees that no action taken by Administrative Agent to enforce any rights of Administrative Agent under the Security Instrument or related security documents, by reason of any default thereunder (including, without limitation, the appointment of a receiver, any Foreclosure or any demand for rent under any assignment of rents or leases) shall give rise to any right of Tenant to terminate the Lease nor shall such action invalidate or constitute a breach of any of the terms of the Lease.

 

3. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, so long as Tenant is not in default after its receipt of written notice and the expiration of all applicable grace and cure period under the Lease, Administrative Agent shall not disturb Tenant’s possession, quiet enjoyment and occupancy of the Premises during the term, and on the other the terms and conditions, of the Lease.

 

4. If Administrative Agent or its nominee or designee, or another purchaser of the Property upon a Foreclosure (any such person or entity, a “Successor Owner”) succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, subject to Tenant’s performance of its obligations under the Lease, the Lease will continue in full force and effect. Thereupon, Successor Owner shall recognize the Lease and Tenant’s rights thereunder and Tenant shall make full and complete attornment to Successor Owner as substitute landlord upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided in the Lease, including, but not limited to, any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer to purchase the Property as may be provided in the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees that any such option, right of first refusal or right of first offer to purchase the Property or any portion thereof, as may be provided in the. Lease shall not apply to any Foreclosure and shall not apply to the initial transfer of the Property by Successor Owner following such Foreclosure. In consideration of the foregoing, Administrative Agent agrees that any such option, right of first refusal or right of first offer shall not be terminated by any Foreclosure or conveyance of the Property by Successor Owner following such Foreclosure; rather, any such option, right of first refusal or right of first offer shall remain as an obligation of any party acquiring the Property following the initial conveyance of the Property by Successor Owner following such Foreclosure. Furthermore, Tenant expressly confirms to Administrative Agent that any acquisition of title to all or any portion of the Property pursuant to Tenant’s exercise of any option, right of first refusal or right of first offer contained in the Lease shall result in Tenant taking title subject to the lien of the Security Instrument.

 

EXHIBIT 11 PAGE 2

 

 

5. Tenant agrees that, if Successor Owner shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Successor Owner shall not be:

 

(a) liable for any prior act or omission of Landlord or any prior landlord or consequential damages arising therefrom except to the extent that liability or damages accrue during a period in which Successor Owner has succeeded to Landlord; or

 

(b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have as to Landlord or any prior landlord; or

 

(c) required or obligated to credit Tenant with any rent or additional rent for any rental period beyond the then current month which tenant has paid Landlord; or

 

(d) bound by any amendments or modifications of the Lease made without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent unless Administrative Agent’s consent to such amendment or modification was not required pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined in the Security Instrument);

 

(e) liable for refund of all or any part of any security deposit unless such security deposit shall have been actually received by Administrative Agent or Successor Owner;

 

(f) required to make any repairs to the Property or the Premises required as a result of fire, or other casualty or by reason of condemnation unless the Successor Owner shall be obligated under the Lease to make such repairs and shall have received sufficient casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to finance the completion of such repairs;

 

(g) obligated to complete any construction work required to be done by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Lease or to reimburse Tenant for any construction work done by Tenant, except for repairs, restoration and maintenance to the Property required by the Lease to be performed by Landlord, the need for which continues after the date the Successor Owner succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Property; or

 

(h) bound to make any payment to Tenant which was required under the Lease, or otherwise, to be made prior to the time the Successor Owner succeeded to Landlord’s interest.

 

6. Tenant agrees that, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent in each case (unless Administrative Agent’s consent thereto was not required pursuant to the Loan Agreement), Tenant shall not (a) amend, modify, terminate or cancel the Lease or any extensions or renewals thereof, or tender a surrender of the Lease (except in each case that, upon a default by Landlord under the Lease, Tenant may exercise its rights under the Lease after giving to Administrative Agent the notice and cure period required by this Agreement), (b) make a prepayment of any rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof (other than first month’s rent paid in advance), or (c) subordinate or permit the subordination of Lease to any lien subordinate to the Security Instrument. Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against the holder of the Security Instrument.

 

EXHIBIT 11 PAGE 3

 

 

7. To the extent that the Lease shall entitle Tenant to notice of the existence of any Security Instrument and the identity of any mortgagee or any ground lessor, this Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Security Instrument and Administrative Agent.

 

8. Upon and after the occurrence of a default under the Security Instrument, which is not cured after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, Administrative Agent shall be entitled, but not obligated, to require that Tenant pay all rent under the Lease as directed, by Administrative Agent, which payment shall, to the extent made, satisfy the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. Landlord agrees to hold Tenant harmless with respect to any such payments made by Tenant to Administrative Agent.

 

9. Without limiting any of the forgoing provisions of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon Administrative Agent or any Lender any liability for flie obligations of Landlord under the Lease unless and until Administrative Agent takes title to the Property. Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Successor Owner shall acquire title to the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises, Successor Owner shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor Owner’s then interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if any, of Successor Owner in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor Owner hereunder or under the Lease, and Successor Owner is hereby released or relieved of any other liability hereunder and under the Lease, Tenant agrees that, with respect to any money judgment which may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor Owner, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor Owner in the Property, and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Owner,

 

10. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, become subject to any liability or obligation to Tenant under the Lease,

 

11. EACH OF TENANT, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LANDLORD HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

12. The provisions of the Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The words, “Administrative Agent”, “Landlord” and “Tenant” shall include their respective heirs, legatees, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, successors and assigns.

EXHIBIT 12, PAGE 1

 

 

Except as expressly set forth below, Guarantor does hereby further consent to any subsequent change, modification or amendment of the Lease in any of its terms, covenants or conditions, or in the rent payable thereunder, or in the premises demised thereby, or in the term thereof, and to any assignment or assignments of the Lease, and to any renewals or extensions of the term of the Lease, and to any subletting or sublettings of the premises demised by the Lease, and to the release of Tenant or any Additional Guarantors) or any substitutions of any such parties, all of which may be made without notice to or consent of Guarantor and without in any manner releasing or relieving the undersigned from liability under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Guarantor’s written consent is not obtained to an amendment to the Lease which materially increases the obligations guaranteed hereby, this Guaranty shall not apply to the increase in such obligations, provided that this Guaranty shall continue to apply to such obligations as the same existed (including any prior increases in such obligations consented to by Guarantor in writing) prior to such increase. For avoidance of doubt, however, no consent of Guarantor shall be required with respect to an amendment to the Lease which ratifies the exercise by Tenant of any right which Tenant has under the Lease (e.g., without limitation, any right of Tenant to extend or renew the Term of the Lease and any right of Tenant to lease additional premises pursuant to an expansion right, right of first offer, or right of first refusal), and Guarantor shall be fully liable for Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, as so amended, whether or not Guarantor consents to the exercise by Tenant of such right under the Lease or to the amendment ratifying the exercise of such right. In addition, Guarantor confirms and agrees that it shall be deemed to have consented to any alterations or improvements made by Tenant, its assignees or sublessees in the Premises (“Tenant Alterations”) and that Guarantor shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under the Lease by reason of any Tenant Alterations, whether or not the same have been approved by either Landlord or Guarantor.

 

Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of (a) any right or defense based on the absence of any or all presentments, demands (including demands for performance), notices (including notices of adverse change in the financial status of Tenant or other facts which increase the risk to Guarantor, notices of non-performance and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty) and protests of each and every kind, or (b) any right or defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of Tenant, Guarantor, any Additional Guarantor(s) or any other person or party.

 

Guarantor does hereby agree that the bankruptcy of Tenant shall have no effect on the obligations of the undersigned hereunder. Guarantor does hereby further agree that in respect of any payments made by Guarantor hereunder, Guarantor shall not have any rights based on suretyship, subrogation or otherwise to stand in the place of Landlord so as to compete with Landlord as a creditor of Tenant. Guarantor hereby waives, releases and forever discharges any and all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, statutory or arising under common law), to claims of Landlord against Tenant, as well as any and all rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification, and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) against Tenant which arise under or in connection with the Guaranty.
